AB  - We are now in what is widely known as the Asian Century. Within this  context, the transformation of healthcare is one of Asia’s greatest  challenges but also one of its greatest opportunities. However Asia is a  vast heterogeneous region, and includes countries with varying systems  of politics and governance, and at different phases of economic  development – with per capita GDP ranging from, say, Laos at US$1,320 to  Japan at US$45,903. Health spending per capita shows a similar wide  variation – US$39 for Laos to US$3,754 for Japan.
